I had terrible misgivings as soon as we walked in the door. We stopped here because it was already after lunch time and we were both hungry -- on our way from the coast to Portland so husband could catch a plane. I'd passed half a dozen places I knew to be good -- but the traffic was messy enough in the rain that I didn't want to do a lot of U-turning and circling of blocks. And their parking lot was appropriately busy -- somebody was eating in this diner! But once inside, it was a sea of blue hair and walkers. I almost fainted from our obvious mistake. We were in one of *those* places -- where the average customer is 80 and eating supper at 1:15 in the afternoon so they could digest their food before a 6:30pm bedtime. But we were there and hungry. If they started playing BINGO, we'd just tough it out. ;D Husband ordered his bowl of clam chowder. I ordered a BLT -- it came with tangy sharp cheese instead of lettuce -- and a side of slaw. And here's the "gotcha" -- it was delicious. The BLT was on thinly sliced fresh sourdough -- toasted perfectly. The cheese was indeed tangy, with a thick slab of tart fresh tomato. It was generously laid with 4 slices of excellent quality bacon. Even the cole slaw was good. And fresh. And chilled. Husband ate every drop of his chowder -- so I can only surmise it was just as good. We didn't order drinks, so even with a tip, we got out of there for $14 for a lite lunch. So -- don't hold their clientele against them. (You know I'm kidding about the age thing, right?) It's good food. It's convenient when traveling up Hwy 99 to Portland. It's quiet -- and they offer a nice menu.

Sunday's breakfast always has a lot of people but we normally get seated quickly. Waitress and staff were very friendly, good way to start out for a nice tip. Steak and eggs for breakfast is always a good way to start out the day. The steak was a little on the small side but I am a big guy but it was very tender. The floor plan is open style so the voices carry though out, not too good for conversations if you are a little hard of hearing.

We met at this particular Elmer's for Thanksgiving Breakfast due to the location. It is not an Elmer's I would normally go to, but I was happily pleased. We were a party of 8 at 9:00 a.m. and the wait was minimal, once seated a very talented waiter took our order and answered some questions I had. Super professional and fast. Our food was delivered a few minutes later and everything was just as we had ordered, no mistakes on a party of 8, that in itself is impressive! The food was not super hot, but on such a busy morning I can certainly forgive that. I ordered something simple, hash browns, sausage, eggs over medium and toast, it was all tasty and exactly what I expected. I suspect they shred the potato's for the hash browns themselves instead of buying them pre-made as they were extra yummy! I was sitting under a vent or something and freezing my tail off, I asked my Waiter if there was anything we could do about it and he immediately went to adjust the heat and in a few minutes I was no longer freezing cold. They had a bunch of extra staff and it appeared the Manager was out overseeing the whole floor to boot. Great restaurant!

Have been here several times and have never had a bad meal yet. The German pancake is to die for! Burgers are great and sombre the endless fries. Chicken fried steak is good but not great. Pancakes are wonderful. The prime rib is pretty good for a diner. Well worth trying!

The food is here is your good ol' American Breakfast without any of the fancy flair that you see in some of the other breakfast/brunch places around town. The food is simple but flavorful and the best thing I had was the Fruit Waffles! I would give it 3.5 stars, with the extra 1/2 star just for the service, which was fast and friendly!

If you are looking for an incredible breakfast, look no further. We were visiting friends and needed to grab a bite and found this little gem. The restaurant has an incredible selection of breakfast items, with many regional items not found down in California. I ordered the lingonberry crepes, which were smothered in butter and lingonberry sauce. Fantastic and filling! My girlfriend ordered a breakfast platter with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and gravy. The portions were huge, and the food was delicious. The bacon was thick and chewy and the gravy was close to homemade. Do yourself a favor and stop here!

Good breakfast place, especially after church since its only 2 mins away and i can smell the bacon during service.. Has a bit of a "wait "time since this place is always packed during brunch & lunch times. About 20 mins tops to wait.. A bit pricey for an omelette but they do give you a lot! The bf ordered a German pancake and i like the egg white omelette w/fruit. Very tasty and the service isn't bad at all. Would come back here again, oh wait i've been back a few times already lol! Just go here, Elmers won't let you down.

This was not a good experience for us. The menu was standard Elmer's and my husband and I ordered what we get from the other Elmer's we go to. Our food came out and looked pathetic. My husband ordered his eggs over hard and they came out looking like overcooked egg discs. His ham looked shriveled and our biscuits were cold-like they'd been the leftovers from last night. Quite an unfortunate experience!

Breakfast anyone? This is one of the regions popular breakfast restaurants. Yes there is lunch and dinner on the menu, but breakfast is where it is at. Today Bells and I went to breakfast before going Christmas shopping. She ordered the strawberry pancakes, (is there any other type of pancakes for a 7 year old girl?), and I had the steak and eggs. Of course the strawberries were gone in a flash, and the pancakes, well, they are secondary food items. The steak was surprisingly tender, juicy and flavorful. I like my steak without all the bottled sauces, no A1, no Tabasco, no nothing. A good steak should stand be itself, right. This one was lightly seasoned and nicely cook to order. Granted, not the best steak I had, but nice for a cold Sunday morning. This place get busy and you may have to wait to be seated. The service is good, prompt, and frequent. This is a nice change in a very busy establishment. Elmer's is a place where many of our Veterans go for a meal. As we were sitting there, just two booth down was a Vietnam Veteran with his hat displaying the First Cavalry badge. After our meal we walked up to his table and shook his hand and thanked him for our freedom. On the way out for the restaurant there was a man and his wife standing waiting for a table. They were dressed for church and he had two military ribbon lapel pins on his coat. I shook his hand and thanked him for our freedom also.

Me and Fabian gotta have some blueberry pancakes. Fact or pulp fiction? Fact baby. And for some decent 'cakes out in the burbs where chain restaurants rule (I didn't write that rule) Elmers turns out some pretty tasty breakfast fare at a reasonable price and they do it with a smile. Wait staff is professionally nice and speedy. Though they are frequently busy on the weekends, they don't rush you or make you feel like you are taking up a table if you want to take your sweet ass time and chow down a German pancake at your own speed. I do like that I don't have to be old to care about portion size as they allow anybody any age to order a smaller version of many popular items at a reduced price instead of saving that 'privilege' for people over 65. Money Saver Tip: Have some good old fashioned water on the house instead of coffee/tea/? me then you can shave off $3 bucks or so.

Exactly what I wanted, a traditional breakfast. I can hear my arteries hardening as I type. Protein galore, eggs and meat, salt and grease, caffeine and sugar, and dairy and spice, all delivered, affordably, on a larch ceramic platter.

Always great service when I come here! Despite the fact they were busy, we were still started rather quickly and for promptly served. I had their German pancakes combo. The German pancakes rock! Very unique breakfast treat that I highly recommend. Very attentive and friendly service. I am an elmer's red raving fan!

Auto-Pilot gets me here sometimes on the weekend when I don't feel like cooking breakfast; it's just a roll up the 99 from our house. My Go-To is the German Pancake with a side of bacon; the butter-sugar-lemon-bacon combo bite is heaven! A close second choice is the Hazelnut Pancakes w/ triple-berry topping & a side of chicken sausage links. Totally Northwest; completely delicious. The wait time on Sunday mornings is usually kinda lame, but that's the case wherever you go at that 'after church' time-of-day. Staff is plentiful and friendly; kind of a nightmare pre-coffee, but I can't be mad at it.

This is a great family restaurant. Clean, the service was great, our waitress Mylee was very nice and attentive. Being on a program I had a salad. I it was fresh and very good. My sister's family go there all the time and I can see why. Will come back next trip to Oregon!

We come here quite often as the food is very very good and the service is EXCELLENT!! Especially like their Reuben sandwich but everything we've had has been wonderful. And I'm continually surprised by the over-the-top service. Seated immediately, drinks orders taken almost before you sit down. Staff comes by often to see if you need anything and constantly fills water glasses, coffee, etc. Manager stops by to make sure everything is ok. Bill comes as soon as you're done eating (obviously they watch) and your check is picked up as soon as you put $$ or a CC out there. They run a tight ship. And again, everything we've tried there has been excellent. It's definitely our go-to place for now.

Ok, Elmer's is my go-to place for a good breakfast! The breakfasts' are HUGE & full of satisfying flavor, the coffee is good & hot and service is always good! It's not a place that will completely wow you for creativity or anything like that, but they do have some really really good monthly specials. I have NEVER had a bad experience here, and believe me, that's not an easy task.

Want to go to a place when your really hungry and stuff yourself silly, this place is it. Elmers in Tigard is close to King City, which is a retirement community that is in a city but has their own laws and stuff. So the place is stuffed with a lot of "seasoned" people. Weekends are packed, sometimes you need to wait about 20 minutes before you get seated, but that's no big deal. Try the Willamette Omelet. It has shrooms, spinach, chicken sausage with cheese, not sure what cheese, but it's white. Order it with fruit and you have your self a pretty light breakfast but fills the tummy. Check those pepper shakers, those "seasoned" people can play tricks with you. I had a skillet one time and used the pepper only to have it completely pour out and made my dish look like somebody poured ashes on my eggs. Luckily the manager noticed my high amount of pepper in the dish and asked if everything was alright. I said no, the pepper puked on my breakfast and it's inedible now. He took it back and gave me a new one. What a nice guy! Funny Story~~ My brother commented one time about this place about how wasteful this place can be. He lost a retainer there a few years ago and he decided to do some dumpster diving. While he didn't find the retainer he did find about 15 forks, 10 knives, 12 spoons, and few plates which he gave back to the manager.

Went for breaklunch.......You know when you can't quite make it out of the house at a decent time. The food, service and atomosphere were all pretty A-OK. I really liked the biscuits. The only problem is I am always terrified of Elmers parking lots. They are old people hang outs. I once got hit in one. True story. Total step up from Sharis.

This place has got great breakfast food all day (and is considerably better than the Shari's down the street) in a thumbs-up-and-a-smile sort of way. Admittedly, I have not tried their lunch/dinner menu foods because I only go there when I'm in the mood for breakfast food, but I haven't had a bad experience yet. There's really nothing special about the place apart from that it has free wi-fi.

Kate T.
This place is like IHOP or Denny's, but a solid step up on the restaurant hierarchy. They have a huge menu of pancakes, waffles, omelets, eggs, and basically every other breakfast permutation. Their hollandaise sauce may not be perfect, but it's actually better than some of the nicer restaurants in Portland can manage. And i gotta say, the Dutch Baby is great with just butter and lemon, no need for all the sugary fruit toppings (heck, i even scrape off the powdered sugar layer). The staff is friendly, and a lot of the customers are regulars. If you come in right after opening, you'll hear a lot of conversations like this: Waitress: G'morning Bob. How ya doing? The usual? Bob: Yep. Doin' good. So no, it's not high-class dining, but it's fast and friendly and good enough for a lazy morning when i don't feel like making my own pancakes.

So delicious! First time here and so impressed. Excellent, fast service. Great quality food. Never an empty glass or coffee cup. Excellent, hot coffee. I visited for breakfast and will return. Servers swarming to clear plates, full glasses and deliver orders. Probably not a long wait with great service.

I uses to love going to Elmers in Tigard, but here in the last year I have almost stop going. My last time was about a week ago (it will be my last time) and I ordered the crab and avocado salad. I don't mind paying almost $15.00 for a crab salad, but what I paid for was a little more then a tablespoon of shredded crab, no chunks, it was closer to a cobb salad, except I asked for no bacon or avocados. So what I paid almost $15.00 for was a bunch of lettuce, black olives, tomatoes, and chopped eggs. NEVER AGAIN! Service is always good though. The one star is for the food.

A generous 4 stars. More like a 3.5. Elmer's is a very busy place on Sunday afternoons but I was quickly seated at a table for 5. While the 5 people who came in behind be were stuffed into a 4 top. Go figure. I ordered a CUP of clam chowder and got a BOWL. I ordered a white wine and got a blush. And I asked for my BLTA on untoasted rye. It first came in the roll it's offered with. I sent that back, emphasized untoasted rye and it came on toasted rye. I never got my salad. Was later told it didn't come with a salad but why was I asked what dressing I wanted then? It seemed like there were plenty of servers-maybe it's the the high noise level that makes patrons hard to hear-?- but I really felt like I wasn't heard in my couple of minor requests that were outside of the normal. The clam chowder is from ivars. Some of the northwests best. I'll come back as it's convenient for dinner before a volunteer gig I do in Tigard. And the food is reliably adequate. Am I damning with feint praise here? Well that's Elmers for ya

I love this restaurant! I come here specifically for the German pancake. The food is of a much higher quality than something you would experience at a Denny's or IHOP, for example. The waitstaff is always very courteous and friendly and there has not been one single time that I have dined in this restaurant without the manager walking by our table to find out how everything was going with our visit. For a quick little breakfast place that also serves a lunch and dinner menu at a reasonable price with a higher quality of ingredients than most other restaurants of this sort, and I recommend you stop in sometime and check them out!

This is what Denny's, iHop, Waffle House, and Applebees should be.. Local chain , happy staff. Serve a variety of comfort food from the northwest.. one of the breakfast specialties is German pancakes, which, if you've never had, you should try it.. it's more like a sweet fried flour totilla. Elmer's does have the plastic picture menus.. I try to go there as an alternative to starbucks.. oh lots of parking and free wifi too.

I have been here twice this week and both times it was absolutely Horrible! Not really haha. The German pancake with triple berry.... Out of the park!!! I could not stop making those happy mmmm mmm awesome food sounds while eating. The second time(this morning) I had the Dungeness crab Benedict. The first bite was awesome but that was it for the crab. I looked in the other one and it also had a pittance of crab. My friend who had enjoyed these before said he had much more on his. I brought it up to the manager who was awesome because she rectified the situation very quickly. They were delicious without the crab but a home run with the crab on it!!! Mmmmmm!

Happy to update my review after a few not so successful prior visits. The management truly cares about your experience, as they reached out after my review to inquire about additional details and apologized for the quality issues we encountered. I've rarely experienced such compassion from a restaurant and certainly not a chain (local or otherwise). They say they wish you to have a great experience and are authentic about it. We returned this past weekend and had amazing service (were checked on by the manager on duty 2 times and wait staff were accommodating and friendly). Food was far better, they've made some solid improvements (food was hot, cooked properly, just as we had come to expect over the decades). Elmer's is back in our family circle of good breakfast places. Thank you Elmer's for being consumer centric~

We came across this place and it looked like a little diner. We were EXTREMELY surprised when we saw the menus. It's definitely the best place we've found around here. We came yesterday and are back today! Great food, great service, it's just mouthwatering! We'll be back here every time we come to Portland/Tigard which is often!

Elmer's Restaurants are a chain with locations predominately in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. This is a family-friendly facility with large menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, lots of choices and at moderate prices. This location is clean, cheerful and efficient. Both Hubby and I ordered Breakfast for dinner and the food was hot and arrived at our table quickly. Our server, Sara K. was pleasant and made us feel welcome. A manager stopped by our table to ask if we were being taken care of okay and all in all, Elmer's was a good experience for us.

Went here for breakfast with my wife. I had the cinnamon roll french toast which was very good, especially the crust. Probably not the healthiest, but who cares? Worth a few carbs. I also had the bacon which was alright. Nothing too special there. I suspect my wife ordered better than me, she had the german pancake which was very good and the apple sausage, the latter of which disappeared before I could try.

If you live on 99, choose Elmer's, or Davidson's, for your post-drink weekend morning breakfast. I highly recommend staying away from Biscuits...for various reasons. Elmer's has phenomenal customer service. And speedy. You'll never have to ask for water or coffee refills. And, your food is tasty, with good prices, served hot. The omelletes are all good. Mr Elmer's or crabavocado are my faces. Fresh biscuits. Your food comes out hot. Your server is on point. This is why this Elmer's is always packed every time I visit- because its ran like a fine oiled machine. The high ceilings capture noise, so be prepared to yell for conversation, because the din of noise is high, just based on the logistics of the building. My fav local spot for breakfast

We eat at Elmers off and on and went back to this one over the weekend. The experience was identical to the last time I posted a review 4 years ago- fantastic! Quick & friendly service, great menu, good prices, and of course, tastes great! This time I noticed a major difference in service from Elmers to everywhere else. Your server comes around to check on you, but there are also employees who's job it seems is to circle the whole place every few minutes and check to see if anyone needs anything.

It had been several years since we've been here and it's still one of the best breakfasts. Menu is has great variety but not so large you can't decide. Something for everyone with any appetite. Service is great. Every few minutes asking if everything is alright and coffee refills. The Sunday morning wait moves fast-15-20 min wait. The German pancake is huge. The pictures are deceiving. Its about 18" diameter. Got it was lingonberry butter. Big parking lot with nice roomy spaces, which is nice when it's busy.

Elmer's is usually a dependable place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch. This is a popular breakfast stop for many locals. Like most chains, it can vary depending on location and choice of menu items. Today, we went there for breakfast and had the fresh strawberry Dutch Baby and the Saturday Market Skillet with Zenner's sausage. The latter was delicious. It came served with a fresh, warm buttery biscuit. The portion was good size, but not too big. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. On the other hand, the Dutch Baby would have been better without the "fresh" strawberries. While they were fresh, they tasted like they'd been prepared hours earlier and left to stew in their own juices in a big bowl. This gave them a kind of "stewed" quality. Too soupy with many of the berries on the questionable side, giving them an almost frozen quality rather than fresh. Next time, I would opt for the Dutch Baby with lemons and powdered sugar and no strawberries. Coffee was good though not exceptional. Service excellent. The place was crowded as usual. I give it three stars because it's a notch above so-so, but certainly not exceptional.

Let me start by saying that I am eating a Jack in the Box breakfast croissant right now because I didn't eat the meal served to me at Elmer's this morning. It is hard to beat a JITB croissant sandwich though. So here goes it. A beautiful Fall morning and I'm hankering for nice breakfast to cover the Halloween party booze which I had Imbibed earlier. I remembered passing by an Elmers on Pacific Highway I went and looked at their menu online and I was quite impressed by what I saw. The service was prompt and courteous. The place was packed with big tables full of people and they seemed content and well served. I ordered a veggie omelet with grilled "potatoes" and a pancake. I'll make this quick and easy. It was crappy and undercooked. when my server inquired how it was I told her "not so good" and she smiled like she knew that already. To summarize It's a nice place with good service but it's totally corporate low grade poorly prepared food and no one cares how it leaves the kitchen. What the hell, who gives a fuck anymore anyway. Crap in and crap out baby. Whatever.

We are new to the area and happened to walk into Elmers after a really long day of moving boxes. What an awesome surprise. This place serves up some down home style cookin. The kind where you finish your meal and want to lay in the fetal position and nap. It's delicious and my kids dig their kid menu. Reasonably priced and the staff is friendly. I love the art on the walls too. We've been here 3 weeks and have eaten here at least 6 times. Until we get settled its our go-to place. Mmmmmm Elmer's.

On my most recent visit to my wife's home state of Oregon, we stopped at Elmer's for breakfast on the way from the airport. I loved this place. We had breakfast, so I can only speak to that part of the menu, but the pancakes were great and the bacon was thick cut, delicious, and cooked perfectly (aka not super crispy, but not soggy). I really liked the fact that they used local foods, like marionberries, hazelnuts, and Tillamook cheese. The other side dish I really liked were the country style potatoes, which had good seasoning and weren't too dry as sometimes happens in restaurants. I wish I was a local so I could try more options. The atmosphere is similar to an IHOP, but quieter and more friendly.

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals to eat out because I like to go on my day off so I can bring a long a newspaper and take my time to enjoy my meal. I just moved near this location and was excited that there was a breakfast place almost within walking distance. I have been a handful of times since and its ok. Food is priced right and they have your basic breakfast fare with they occasional seasonal item thrown in. Sometimes I think they get too busy for their own good and the service lacks as a result. I understand they can get busy but they should be properly staffed to handle such occasions. I would recommend this place if you are going to go mid week when they aren't at their busiest so you can get the right attention. Otherwise I would recommend Village Inn, they can handle the crowds better.

I had terrible misgivings as soon as we walked in the door. We stopped here because it was already after lunch time and we were both hungry -- on our way from the coast to Portland so husband could catch a plane. I'd passed half a dozen places I knew to be good -- but the traffic was messy enough in the rain that I didn't want to do a lot of U-turning and circling of blocks. And their parking lot was appropriately busy -- somebody was eating in this diner! But once inside, it was a sea of blue hair and walkers. I almost fainted from our obvious mistake. We were in one of *those* places -- where the average customer is 80 and eating supper at 1:15 in the afternoon so they could digest their food before a 6:30pm bedtime. But we were there and hungry. If they started playing BINGO, we'd just tough it out. ;D Husband ordered his bowl of clam chowder. I ordered a BLT -- it came with tangy sharp cheese instead of lettuce -- and a side of slaw. And here's the "gotcha" -- it was delicious. The BLT was on thinly sliced fresh sourdough -- toasted perfectly. The cheese was indeed tangy, with a thick slab of tart fresh tomato. It was generously laid with 4 slices of excellent quality bacon. Even the cole slaw was good. And fresh. And chilled. Husband ate every drop of his chowder -- so I can only surmise it was just as good. We didn't order drinks, so even with a tip, we got out of there for $14 for a lite lunch. So -- don't hold their clientele against them. (You know I'm kidding about the age thing, right?) It's good food. It's convenient when traveling up Hwy 99 to Portland. It's quiet -- and they offer a nice menu.

Sunday's breakfast always has a lot of people but we normally get seated quickly. Waitress and staff were very friendly, good way to start out for a nice tip. Steak and eggs for breakfast is always a good way to start out the day. The steak was a little on the small side but I am a big guy but it was very tender. The floor plan is open style so the voices carry though out, not too good for conversations if you are a little hard of hearing.

Was in for business and stopped for breakfast, had a great meal and the service was fantastic

We met at this particular Elmer's for Thanksgiving Breakfast due to the location. It is not an Elmer's I would normally go to, but I was happily pleased. We were a party of 8 at 9:00 a.m. and the wait was minimal, once seated a very talented waiter took our order and answered some questions I had. Super professional and fast. Our food was delivered a few minutes later and everything was just as we had ordered, no mistakes on a party of 8, that in itself is impressive! The food was not super hot, but on such a busy morning I can certainly forgive that. I ordered something simple, hash browns, sausage, eggs over medium and toast, it was all tasty and exactly what I expected. I suspect they shred the potato's for the hash browns themselves instead of buying them pre-made as they were extra yummy! I was sitting under a vent or something and freezing my tail off, I asked my Waiter if there was anything we could do about it and he immediately went to adjust the heat and in a few minutes I was no longer freezing cold. They had a bunch of extra staff and it appeared the Manager was out overseeing the whole floor to boot. Great restaurant!

Have been here several times and have never had a bad meal yet. The German pancake is to die for! Burgers are great and sombre the endless fries. Chicken fried steak is good but not great. Pancakes are wonderful. The prime rib is pretty good for a diner. Well worth trying!
(5)Brittani O.
My husband takes our children weekly in their pjs for a breakfast date! They are so welcoming and the service is outstanding! The kids look forward to their chocolate chip and cub cake pancakes!!
(5)Chelsey P.
I'm impressed. After my 1st review the management responded and offered to make up for the bad experience. I appreciate a business that takes the time to review and respond to comments.
(4)Rachit G.
The food is here is your good ol' American Breakfast without any of the fancy flair that you see in some of the other breakfast/brunch places around town. The food is simple but flavorful and the best thing I had was the Fruit Waffles! I would give it 3.5 stars, with the extra 1/2 star just for the service, which was fast and friendly!
(3)Jeremy M.
Wife and I both came in for the German pancake and it was AMAZING! Yum yum yum! Thank you.
(5)Mike W.
Food was great! Service Excellant! This location is clean, cheerful and efficient. Both Wife and I ordered Breakfast and the food was hot and arrived at our table quickly. Our server, was pleasant and made us feel welcome. A manager stopped by our table to ask if we were being taken care of read more "

If you are looking for an incredible breakfast, look no further. We were visiting friends and needed to grab a bite and found this little gem. The restaurant has an incredible selection of breakfast items, with many regional items not found down in California. I ordered the lingonberry crepes, which were smothered in butter and lingonberry sauce. Fantastic and filling! My girlfriend ordered a breakfast platter with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and gravy. The portions were huge, and the food was delicious. The bacon was thick and chewy and the gravy was close to homemade. Do yourself a favor and stop here!
(4)Seth F.
i always thought Elmer's was just for old people but i was surprised by their good food. Elmer's is alot better than Shari's. only thing i wish they had was more appetizers
(4)Julie O.
Good breakfast place, especially after church since its only 2 mins away and i can smell the bacon during service.. Has a bit of a "wait "time since this place is always packed during brunch & lunch times. About 20 mins tops to wait.. A bit pricey for an omelette but they do give you a lot! The bf ordered a German pancake and i like the egg white omelette w/fruit. Very tasty and the service isn't bad at all. Would come back here again, oh wait i've been back a few times already lol! Just go here, Elmers won't let you down.
(3)Abigail A.
This was not a good experience for us. The menu was standard Elmer's and my husband and I ordered what we get from the other Elmer's we go to. Our food came out and looked pathetic. My husband ordered his eggs over hard and they came out looking like overcooked egg discs. His ham looked shriveled and our biscuits were cold-like they'd been the leftovers from last night. Quite an unfortunate experience!
(2)Jennifer T.
Not only better than Shari's but Shari's has raised their prices but not the quality of their food!
(5)Richard H.
Breakfast anyone? This is one of the regions popular breakfast restaurants. Yes there is lunch and dinner on the menu, but breakfast is where it is at. Today Bells and I went to breakfast before going Christmas shopping. She ordered the strawberry pancakes, (is there any other type of pancakes for a 7 year old girl?), and I had the steak and eggs. Of course the strawberries were gone in a flash, and the pancakes, well, they are secondary food items. The steak was surprisingly tender, juicy and flavorful. I like my steak without all the bottled sauces, no A1, no Tabasco, no nothing. A good steak should stand be itself, right. This one was lightly seasoned and nicely cook to order. Granted, not the best steak I had, but nice for a cold Sunday morning. This place get busy and you may have to wait to be seated. The service is good, prompt, and frequent. This is a nice change in a very busy establishment. Elmer's is a place where many of our Veterans go for a meal. As we were sitting there, just two booth down was a Vietnam Veteran with his hat displaying the First Cavalry badge. After our meal we walked up to his table and shook his hand and thanked him for our freedom. On the way out for the restaurant there was a man and his wife standing waiting for a table. They were dressed for church and he had two military ribbon lapel pins on his coat. I shook his hand and thanked him for our freedom also.

Me and Fabian gotta have some blueberry pancakes. Fact or pulp fiction? Fact baby. And for some decent 'cakes out in the burbs where chain restaurants rule (I didn't write that rule) Elmers turns out some pretty tasty breakfast fare at a reasonable price and they do it with a smile. Wait staff is professionally nice and speedy. Though they are frequently busy on the weekends, they don't rush you or make you feel like you are taking up a table if you want to take your sweet ass time and chow down a German pancake at your own speed. I do like that I don't have to be old to care about portion size as they allow anybody any age to order a smaller version of many popular items at a reduced price instead of saving that 'privilege' for people over 65. Money Saver Tip: Have some good old fashioned water on the house instead of coffee/tea/? me then you can shave off $3 bucks or so.
(3)Michael R.
Exactly what I wanted, a traditional breakfast. I can hear my arteries hardening as I type. Protein galore, eggs and meat, salt and grease, caffeine and sugar, and dairy and spice, all delivered, affordably, on a larch ceramic platter.
(4)Steven M.
Always great service when I come here! Despite the fact they were busy, we were still started rather quickly and for promptly served. I had their German pancakes combo. The German pancakes rock! Very unique breakfast treat that I highly recommend. Very attentive and friendly service. I am an elmer's red raving fan!
(5)Jillian D.
Auto-Pilot gets me here sometimes on the weekend when I don't feel like cooking breakfast; it's just a roll up the 99 from our house. My Go-To is the German Pancake with a side of bacon; the butter-sugar-lemon-bacon combo bite is heaven! A close second choice is the Hazelnut Pancakes w/ triple-berry topping & a side of chicken sausage links. Totally Northwest; completely delicious. The wait time on Sunday mornings is usually kinda lame, but that's the case wherever you go at that 'after church' time-of-day. Staff is plentiful and friendly; kind of a nightmare pre-coffee, but I can't be mad at it.
(3)Adrienne D.
This is a great family restaurant. Clean, the service was great, our waitress Mylee was very nice and attentive. Being on a program I had a salad. I it was fresh and very good. My sister's family go there all the time and I can see why. Will come back next trip to Oregon!
(4)M G.
Waited five minutes after being seated and no one came by with coffee or water! Left and went to Biscuit 'a Cafe for an awesomely tasteful breakfast with five star service. Goodbye Elmer's of Tigard.
(1)Michelle P.
we eat here twice a month and always get great service and food!!! TY Elmers' staff!!
(5)Barbara C.
We come here quite often as the food is very very good and the service is EXCELLENT!! Especially like their Reuben sandwich but everything we've had has been wonderful. And I'm continually surprised by the over-the-top service. Seated immediately, drinks orders taken almost before you sit down. Staff comes by often to see if you need anything and constantly fills water glasses, coffee, etc. Manager stops by to make sure everything is ok. Bill comes as soon as you're done eating (obviously they watch) and your check is picked up as soon as you put $$ or a CC out there. They run a tight ship. And again, everything we've tried there has been excellent. It's definitely our go-to place for now.
(5)Steve H.
Ok, Elmer's is my go-to place for a good breakfast! The breakfasts' are HUGE & full of satisfying flavor, the coffee is good & hot and service is always good! It's not a place that will completely wow you for creativity or anything like that, but they do have some really really good monthly specials. I have NEVER had a bad experience here, and believe me, that's not an easy task.
(4)Terry C.
Want to go to a place when your really hungry and stuff yourself silly, this place is it. Elmers in Tigard is close to King City, which is a retirement community that is in a city but has their own laws and stuff. So the place is stuffed with a lot of "seasoned" people. Weekends are packed, sometimes you need to wait about 20 minutes before you get seated, but that's no big deal. Try the Willamette Omelet. It has shrooms, spinach, chicken sausage with cheese, not sure what cheese, but it's white. Order it with fruit and you have your self a pretty light breakfast but fills the tummy. Check those pepper shakers, those "seasoned" people can play tricks with you. I had a skillet one time and used the pepper only to have it completely pour out and made my dish look like somebody poured ashes on my eggs. Luckily the manager noticed my high amount of pepper in the dish and asked if everything was alright. I said no, the pepper puked on my breakfast and it's inedible now. He took it back and gave me a new one. What a nice guy! Funny Story~~ My brother commented one time about this place about how wasteful this place can be. He lost a retainer there a few years ago and he decided to do some dumpster diving. While he didn't find the retainer he did find about 15 forks, 10 knives, 12 spoons, and few plates which he gave back to the manager.
(3)David M.
Awesome breakfast. Service is fantastic!!!
(5)Damion C.
Always a great place to eat breakfast. Fast, friendly service, quick grub, decent prices. Much better than Shari's or Denny's.
(4)Beth C.
Went for breaklunch.......You know when you can't quite make it out of the house at a decent time. The food, service and atomosphere were all pretty A-OK. I really liked the biscuits. The only problem is I am always terrified of Elmers parking lots. They are old people hang outs. I once got hit in one. True story. Total step up from Sharis.
(3)Andy B.
This place has got great breakfast food all day (and is considerably better than the Shari's down the street) in a thumbs-up-and-a-smile sort of way. Admittedly, I have not tried their lunch/dinner menu foods because I only go there when I'm in the mood for breakfast food, but I haven't had a bad experience yet. There's really nothing special about the place apart from that it has free wi-fi.
(4)Kate T.
This place is like IHOP or Denny's, but a solid step up on the restaurant hierarchy. They have a huge menu of pancakes, waffles, omelets, eggs, and basically every other breakfast permutation. Their hollandaise sauce may not be perfect, but it's actually better than some of the nicer restaurants in Portland can manage. And i gotta say, the Dutch Baby is great with just butter and lemon, no need for all the sugary fruit toppings (heck, i even scrape off the powdered sugar layer). The staff is friendly, and a lot of the customers are regulars. If you come in right after opening, you'll hear a lot of conversations like this: Waitress: G'morning Bob. How ya doing? The usual? Bob: Yep. Doin' good. So no, it's not high-class dining, but it's fast and friendly and good enough for a lazy morning when i don't feel like making my own pancakes.
(4)Lisa D.
So delicious! First time here and so impressed. Excellent, fast service. Great quality food. Never an empty glass or coffee cup. Excellent, hot coffee. I visited for breakfast and will return. Servers swarming to clear plates, full glasses and deliver orders. Probably not a long wait with great service.
(5)Kyna E.
I uses to love going to Elmers in Tigard, but here in the last year I have almost stop going. My last time was about a week ago (it will be my last time) and I ordered the crab and avocado salad. I don't mind paying almost $15.00 for a crab salad, but what I paid for was a little more then a tablespoon of shredded crab, no chunks, it was closer to a cobb salad, except I asked for no bacon or avocados. So what I paid almost $15.00 for was a bunch of lettuce, black olives, tomatoes, and chopped eggs. NEVER AGAIN! Service is always good though. The one star is for the food.
(1)Andrew A.
Not my kinda food, but an upgrade from Denny's and IHOP. I just appreciate the very friendly and hard working staff, they are especially mindful towards Seniors. The Classic Oatmeal was surprisingly good.
(3)Elle H.
A generous 4 stars. More like a 3.5. Elmer's is a very busy place on Sunday afternoons but I was quickly seated at a table for 5. While the 5 people who came in behind be were stuffed into a 4 top. Go figure. I ordered a CUP of clam chowder and got a BOWL. I ordered a white wine and got a blush. And I asked for my BLTA on untoasted rye. It first came in the roll it's offered with. I sent that back, emphasized untoasted rye and it came on toasted rye. I never got my salad. Was later told it didn't come with a salad but why was I asked what dressing I wanted then? It seemed like there were plenty of servers-maybe it's the the high noise level that makes patrons hard to hear-?- but I really felt like I wasn't heard in my couple of minor requests that were outside of the normal. The clam chowder is from ivars. Some of the northwests best. I'll come back as it's convenient for dinner before a volunteer gig I do in Tigard. And the food is reliably adequate. Am I damning with feint praise here? Well that's Elmers for ya
(4)B S.
So far me and my husband have been there twice and Loved it so far! Our first experience there was amazing! I loved our waitress who was a trainee at the time. Very sweet lady the second time wasn't as good as the first and the waitress wasn't as nice but the food was yummy! I recommend Elmer's 100%
(5)Hannah K.
This is a good place to eat! We came on a Wednesday night at 6:30 and it was empty and we had it all to are selfs! Don't take that the wrong way because it's DELICIOUS! I mean it! Just a good friendly place to get some breakfast, lunch or dinner!!! Don't let me forget desert!!! Wait was also not long at all we got in ordered, eat and left shortly after!
(5)Kelly G.
I love this restaurant! I come here specifically for the German pancake. The food is of a much higher quality than something you would experience at a Denny's or IHOP, for example. The waitstaff is always very courteous and friendly and there has not been one single time that I have dined in this restaurant without the manager walking by our table to find out how everything was going with our visit. For a quick little breakfast place that also serves a lunch and dinner menu at a reasonable price with a higher quality of ingredients than most other restaurants of this sort, and I recommend you stop in sometime and check them out!
(5)Stacy C.
Cheryl R. July 24th We had a nice breakfast and a great time. If we're back we will ask to sit in your area. Elmer's this waitress really rounds out the experience.
(4)Doug T.
This is what Denny's, iHop, Waffle House, and Applebees should be.. Local chain , happy staff. Serve a variety of comfort food from the northwest.. one of the breakfast specialties is German pancakes, which, if you've never had, you should try it.. it's more like a sweet fried flour totilla. Elmer's does have the plastic picture menus.. I try to go there as an alternative to starbucks.. oh lots of parking and free wifi too.
(4)richard r.
I have been here twice this week and both times it was absolutely Horrible! Not really haha. The German pancake with triple berry.... Out of the park!!! I could not stop making those happy mmmm mmm awesome food sounds while eating. The second time(this morning) I had the Dungeness crab Benedict. The first bite was awesome but that was it for the crab. I looked in the other one and it also had a pittance of crab. My friend who had enjoyed these before said he had much more on his. I brought it up to the manager who was awesome because she rectified the situation very quickly. They were delicious without the crab but a home run with the crab on it!!! Mmmmmm!
(5)Herry T.
This is our favorite breakfast restaurant. Always felt welcomed. Service is always friendly and good. Staff are polite. My 5 years old boy loved their German Pancake. I'm amazed that he can finish the whole thing by himself. We come to Elmer's regularly.
(5)Kel L.
Happy to update my review after a few not so successful prior visits. The management truly cares about your experience, as they reached out after my review to inquire about additional details and apologized for the quality issues we encountered. I've rarely experienced such compassion from a restaurant and certainly not a chain (local or otherwise). They say they wish you to have a great experience and are authentic about it. We returned this past weekend and had amazing service (were checked on by the manager on duty 2 times and wait staff were accommodating and friendly). Food was far better, they've made some solid improvements (food was hot, cooked properly, just as we had come to expect over the decades). Elmer's is back in our family circle of good breakfast places. Thank you Elmer's for being consumer centric~
(4)Shanna S.
We came across this place and it looked like a little diner. We were EXTREMELY surprised when we saw the menus. It's definitely the best place we've found around here. We came yesterday and are back today! Great food, great service, it's just mouthwatering! We'll be back here every time we come to Portland/Tigard which is often!
(5)Carol A.
Elmer's Restaurants are a chain with locations predominately in Oregon, Washington and Idaho. This is a family-friendly facility with large menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner, lots of choices and at moderate prices. This location is clean, cheerful and efficient. Both Hubby and I ordered Breakfast for dinner and the food was hot and arrived at our table quickly. Our server, Sara K. was pleasant and made us feel welcome. A manager stopped by our table to ask if we were being taken care of okay and all in all, Elmer's was a good experience for us.
(3)Greg P.
Went here for breakfast with my wife. I had the cinnamon roll french toast which was very good, especially the crust. Probably not the healthiest, but who cares? Worth a few carbs. I also had the bacon which was alright. Nothing too special there. I suspect my wife ordered better than me, she had the german pancake which was very good and the apple sausage, the latter of which disappeared before I could try.
(4)Tyler F.
The best breakfast in Tigard. They are very consistent and never disappoint me. Food is always delicious. Service is great. The atmosphere could be a little more quite, but all I care about is the food. Can't wait to come back!
(5)Carmen O.
We had brunch on Valentine's Day! Great family place. Love the German Pancake with the powdered sugar and lemons!
(5)Mandy M.
If you live on 99, choose Elmer's, or Davidson's, for your post-drink weekend morning breakfast. I highly recommend staying away from Biscuits...for various reasons. Elmer's has phenomenal customer service. And speedy. You'll never have to ask for water or coffee refills. And, your food is tasty, with good prices, served hot. The omelletes are all good. Mr Elmer's or crabavocado are my faces. Fresh biscuits. Your food comes out hot. Your server is on point. This is why this Elmer's is always packed every time I visit- because its ran like a fine oiled machine. The high ceilings capture noise, so be prepared to yell for conversation, because the din of noise is high, just based on the logistics of the building. My fav local spot for breakfast
(4)Tres B.
steady as she goes, brothers and sister. Ate here 10 years ago and nohthng has changed. Steady Eddie chain schlock. dependable ham and egger. consitent but unispiring. Pretty much what you would expect.
(3)Rose E.
We eat at Elmers off and on and went back to this one over the weekend. The experience was identical to the last time I posted a review 4 years ago- fantastic! Quick & friendly service, great menu, good prices, and of course, tastes great! This time I noticed a major difference in service from Elmers to everywhere else. Your server comes around to check on you, but there are also employees who's job it seems is to circle the whole place every few minutes and check to see if anyone needs anything.
(5)Velvet M.
Came to elmers for a late brunch. Our server was Bernabe. He was fast and friendly. My boyfriend and I both ordered breakfast skillets! Everything was great as always and my coffee was continually refilled. I love coming to elmers because the food is always great and the service friendly. -velvet
(5)Ann B.
German Pancakes were awesome, perfectly done. Busy place so our order seemed to take a long time and yet great service.
(4)Lacey P.
It had been several years since we've been here and it's still one of the best breakfasts. Menu is has great variety but not so large you can't decide. Something for everyone with any appetite. Service is great. Every few minutes asking if everything is alright and coffee refills. The Sunday morning wait moves fast-15-20 min wait. The German pancake is huge. The pictures are deceiving. Its about 18" diameter. Got it was lingonberry butter. Big parking lot with nice roomy spaces, which is nice when it's busy.
(5)Charles H.
Elmer's is usually a dependable place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch. This is a popular breakfast stop for many locals. Like most chains, it can vary depending on location and choice of menu items. Today, we went there for breakfast and had the fresh strawberry Dutch Baby and the Saturday Market Skillet with Zenner's sausage. The latter was delicious. It came served with a fresh, warm buttery biscuit. The portion was good size, but not too big. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. On the other hand, the Dutch Baby would have been better without the "fresh" strawberries. While they were fresh, they tasted like they'd been prepared hours earlier and left to stew in their own juices in a big bowl. This gave them a kind of "stewed" quality. Too soupy with many of the berries on the questionable side, giving them an almost frozen quality rather than fresh. Next time, I would opt for the Dutch Baby with lemons and powdered sugar and no strawberries. Coffee was good though not exceptional. Service excellent. The place was crowded as usual. I give it three stars because it's a notch above so-so, but certainly not exceptional.
(3)K M.
Friendly staff, good breakfast, fast service. The German pancake was fantastic. This is the nicest Elmer's in Oregon.
(4)Sonny W.
Standard Denny's feel (hence rated 3/5 stars since I had this expectation). Did not fail to live up to my Denny expectation: Same menu, same slow service.
(3)Patrick S.
Let me start by saying that I am eating a Jack in the Box breakfast croissant right now because I didn't eat the meal served to me at Elmer's this morning. It is hard to beat a JITB croissant sandwich though. So here goes it. A beautiful Fall morning and I'm hankering for nice breakfast to cover the Halloween party booze which I had Imbibed earlier. I remembered passing by an Elmers on Pacific Highway I went and looked at their menu online and I was quite impressed by what I saw. The service was prompt and courteous. The place was packed with big tables full of people and they seemed content and well served. I ordered a veggie omelet with grilled "potatoes" and a pancake. I'll make this quick and easy. It was crappy and undercooked. when my server inquired how it was I told her "not so good" and she smiled like she knew that already. To summarize It's a nice place with good service but it's totally corporate low grade poorly prepared food and no one cares how it leaves the kitchen. What the hell, who gives a fuck anymore anyway. Crap in and crap out baby. Whatever.
(2)Brian C.
Great breakfast spot. ( for a chain restaurant ).
(3)Justin C.
Poor!!!!! Bad!!!!!! Never go there!!!!!!! Poor Service!!!!!!
(1)Jenny G.
We are new to the area and happened to walk into Elmers after a really long day of moving boxes. What an awesome surprise. This place serves up some down home style cookin. The kind where you finish your meal and want to lay in the fetal position and nap. It's delicious and my kids dig their kid menu. Reasonably priced and the staff is friendly. I love the art on the walls too. We've been here 3 weeks and have eaten here at least 6 times. Until we get settled its our go-to place. Mmmmmm Elmer's.
(5)Mike P.
On my most recent visit to my wife's home state of Oregon, we stopped at Elmer's for breakfast on the way from the airport. I loved this place. We had breakfast, so I can only speak to that part of the menu, but the pancakes were great and the bacon was thick cut, delicious, and cooked perfectly (aka not super crispy, but not soggy). I really liked the fact that they used local foods, like marionberries, hazelnuts, and Tillamook cheese. The other side dish I really liked were the country style potatoes, which had good seasoning and weren't too dry as sometimes happens in restaurants. I wish I was a local so I could try more options. The atmosphere is similar to an IHOP, but quieter and more friendly.
(5)Jennifer B.
Great service and great food. The servers here are really friendly and check on you often. I haven't had the dinners here, but the breakfast and lunch menu is really good. I absolutely love the bacon here.
(5)Don S.
Great Hollandaise, eggs Benedict.
(4)Ryan P.
Breakfast is one of my favorite meals to eat out because I like to go on my day off so I can bring a long a newspaper and take my time to enjoy my meal. I just moved near this location and was excited that there was a breakfast place almost within walking distance. I have been a handful of times since and its ok. Food is priced right and they have your basic breakfast fare with they occasional seasonal item thrown in. Sometimes I think they get too busy for their own good and the service lacks as a result. I understand they can get busy but they should be properly staffed to handle such occasions. I would recommend this place if you are going to go mid week when they aren't at their busiest so you can get the right attention. Otherwise I would recommend Village Inn, they can handle the crowds better.
